About this book

Swing Changes: Big-Band Jazz in New Deal America by Stowe, David W.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780674858251.

Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, newspapers, magazines, recordings, photographs, literature, and films, Stowe looks at New Deal America through its music and shows us how the contradictions and tensions within swing―over race, politics, its own cultural status, the role of women―mirrored those played out in the larger society.
